Henry, it is a bit confusing but you are basically right. Look below the graphic.
Back in the late 60s, I knew a person who wrote a play, with the immortal line:
As anyone can see who reads the scriptures,
or even looks at the pictures....As I understand, the Ford Explorer case is exceptionally ugly: Ford recommended underinflating the tires to help minimize the rollover problem, but that caused the tires to tend to blow out. When push came to shove, we saw how loyal one Multi-national was to another. Ford blamed the tires and Firestone blamed Ford.
There was another way to go: Firestone could have refused to sell tires to Ford for Explorers (in retrospect, I bet they wished they had!). Back in the late 19th Century, at the founding of Johns Hopkins Hospital, Dr. William(?) Halstead, one of the great early surgeons and founders of Johns Hopkins, upon walking through a hospital ward where antiseptic procedures were not yet practiced, simply said:
I cannot assume responsibility for any patient
in this ward.\brad mccormick
